  1. I can’t think of a joke either. I already used up all my “no support” jokes on Harris Miller. If I think of any more, I’ll be sure to post.

  2. Like, all my econ professors are libertarians.

    They are so much FUN to hang out with, you have no idea. The Mercatus Center at GMU is funded by a coupla really conservative families and all the professors hate them and have no shame about it. They’re like, “I got tenure, I’mna speak my libertarian mind, fool! Don’t tell me to be quiet- there is no one else who can teach Austrian economics or the economics of religion. I invented public choice economics.”

    Econ society is even better because it’s a…uh..society… and they really don’t care what you think of them there, so it’s all “FDA review!” “Hayek!” “The bastards who are occupying the universe!” (referring to the current administration)

    Gawd, I freakin’ love libertarians. Almost all the econ blogs linked to at Monstrosity are libertarians. They’re so crazy and whacked out and shameless. And if you upset them, they foam at the mouth. For real.

    ‘Though that might be a result of the fact that they drink massive quantities of Diet Coke. :)

  3. I’m a recovering Libertarian (and Objectivist… double lashing) so I always get a kick out of this stuff. Asking a Libertarian to explain how roads would be built is worth at least 15 minutes of entertaining contortions of logic.

    At least the Objectivists (Ayn Rand devotees) have the guts to say they don’t care about other people and just to keep their money and guns.

  4. I’ve got many a Libertarian friend. I’m down with ’em. It’s the idea of a Libertarian convention that I think deserves some joke, I just can’t figure out what. I mean, imagine an anarchist convention—the jokes write themselves. Democratic convention…well, there were lots of good jokes about that in ’04. But Libertarian convention?

    They all built their own roads to get there? Thrown out for going naked in protest of the “no shirts, no shoes, no service” sign?

    I got nothin’.

  5. I’m not smart enough to think of a good joke to insert here.

    No need. You said “libertarian.” That qualifies.

    Hmm. Maybe that was too mean. *shrugs*
